Managing Monthly Configs in Acanthis

What are Monthly Configs?

Monthly Configs allow you to set and adjust key dashboard targets and metrics for each individual month.

This flexibility ensures that your performance tracking evolves alongside your business activities, promotions, seasonality, and strategic changes.

Key examples of Monthly Config settings:

  • Average Order Value Targets

  • Business ValuTrack Targets & monthly adjustments

  • View and adjust industry benchmarks

Each month's data can be tailored to reflect changing conditions without affecting other months.


When Should You Update Monthly Configs?

  • At the start of each new month

  • After launching major marketing campaigns

  • When product ranges or pricing models change significantly

  • When external factors (e.g., economic conditions) shift business expectations
